Activation-Synthesis Theory: This theory proposes that dreams are created when the brain tries to make sense of random neural signals by synthesizing them into meaningful experiences.
Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep: REM sleep is a stage of sleep characterized by rapid eye movements, increased brain activity, and vivid dreaming. It is closely associated with the occurrence of dreams.
Neural Networks: These networks refer to interconnected groups of neurons in the brain that work together to process and transmit information. Random stimulation may occur within these networks during dream states.
